There was an interesting level of congruency in the announcement from the Predators on Thursday in regards to three players who will have season ending surgeries. All were forwards, and all were key players.

General manager David Poile said center Paul Gaustad, and wings Colin Wilson and Gabriel Bourque will undergo operations that will end their 2013 campaigns. Wilson and Gaustad will have what Poile called "shoulder stabilization" surgery. Poile said the recovery time is four months and he was "100 percent" confident both would be ready for training camp.
